Atlas Explorer
Atlas Explorer is the search tool for CargoFax customs records, built so anyone on your team can find shipments quickly. Start with a product, an HS code, a company, or a market, and narrow from there: filters combine, so one search can ask for one product, from one origin, into one port, over one period. Save any search and return to it later; a saved search picks up new records as each market updates. Explorer also maps the trade routes of any search and turns it into a report or pivot table by company, origin, destination, port, product, or month.
| Filter | What it does |
|---|---|
| HS code | Search by Harmonized System chapter, heading, or subheading. US bill of lading records carry an HS code that CargoFax assigns from the cargo description. |
| Product description | Search the description as declared, for products that do not map cleanly to one HS code. |
| Company | Search importers, exporters, shippers, and consignees where the market's records carry names. Company names are cleaned and matched. |
| Country and port | Origin or destination country, and ports of lading, unlading, or entry where the records carry them. |
| Date range | Any period from the start of each market's history to the latest update. |
Atlas Vault
Atlas Vault is more than a place to save data. It is your data workspace in Atlas, where you customize your trade records, analyze them with pivot tables, and create AI-powered reports you can reuse. Everything in Vault updates as each market adds new records, and you can download anything you keep, in every market.
Vault is your data workspace. Edit and organize records, choose the columns you need, and tailor the working view to the question in front of you. It has the flexibility of working in Excel, built around CargoFax trade data instead of a fixed view. New records are highlighted when they arrive, so you see at a glance what changed since your last visit.
Use AI to create reports tailored to your questions: investigate a company, a commodity, a market, or a trend, and turn trade data into insights without building every report by hand. Save a report, return to it whenever you need it, and turn on email updates to hear when relevant data changes. Create a report once and reuse it as the data changes.
Summarize, reorganize, and compare trade data across dimensions to uncover patterns. Put origin countries, commodities, or shipping lines in the rows, months in the columns, and shipments or weight in the values, then filter to the slice you need. Compare companies, commodities, markets, and other fields side by side, and build views that answer your specific questions. Saved pivot tables update with the data.
Atlas Docs
Yes. Atlas Docs lets you upload your own documents, for example commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin or quality, and attach each one to a bill of lading or customs record. The document then opens from the record in Explorer and from saved shipments in Vault, next to the record's HS code, partner, and date. CargoFax does not supply the documents: the files in Docs are the ones your team uploads.
Atlas Contacts
Atlas Contacts turns the companies you discover in the trade data into your own organized company "black book". Find importers, exporters, and partners through Explorer and the records, then save them to Contacts and tag them the way your team works.
Atlas Track
Atlas Track follows bills of lading (B/Ls) and container numbers across multiple shipping lines in one place. Add a B/L or container number and Track shows its latest status from the carrier, so your team does not have to visit each carrier's website. CargoFax consolidates tracking across supported carriers, and Track alerts you when a new tracking update is available.
Atlas AI
Yes. Atlas AI answers plain-English questions over the full dataset of each market in your plan or over the shipments you keep in Vault, and shows the records behind every answer so each figure can be checked. Atlas AI answers from the fields each market carries: declared values in the Latin American markets, and bills of lading, vessels, containers, and gross weight in Haiti and the United States.
In practice
Find every importer of cement (HS 2523) into Cap-Haitien this quarter in Explorer, save the search, and keep the importers in Vault with email updates on for the three largest. A Vault pivot table shows each competitor's suppliers over time, and the weekly Haiti update keeps the list current.
Search HS 8708 vehicle parts in US bills of lading and Mexico declarations, rank the importers, and check each one's current suppliers in Explorer. Save the best prospects to Contacts with tags, export the list to your CRM, or keep the search in Vault as a buyer list that updates itself.
Open the client's records in the Dominican Republic, attach the documents the client provided in Docs, and compare the declared values with the rest of the market in an Explorer pivot table.
